Push to move voting age to 7 derailed by toddler lobby

Culture, Nation

Despite Democratic lawmakers’ best efforts, legislation that would have moved the minimum voting age down to 7 years old was defeated Wednesday after strong pressure from the toddler lobby, who wanted the age pushed down to 3 and would not compromise.

Toddler political action committees and toddler-sympathetic political action committees celebrated the victory, with numerous mommies and daddies putting copies of the legislation’s failure on their fridges.
